The board ran out and Drovmev and the player in the hijack chopped up Jackson's chips with their straights.

On another table, Jordan Jayne shoved his short stack with ace-queen and was called by a player with pocket fives and failed to improve, meaning both Jackson and Jayne would split a min cash of $3,725.
